Reading that, I wonder how much solar power you'd need to charge them to that level? And if that could be applied to complement solar/wind power?

I tried some halfass "comb" antennas but wasn't seriously attempting to harvest static electricity to useful purpose. There's some "joule thief" circuits available cheap and easy now that make me wonder if its possible.
